Chapter 304: Plotting to seize food
Zhu Yuanzhang can now be said to be very proficient in the art of war.
Of course, it's just for the art of war that Zhu Yuanzhang can access.
In fact, in Zhu Yuanzhang's view, the most critical soul of the art of war is life.
Everything needs to be transferred according to the time, place, and the specifics of the battlefield.
Historically, Zhao Kuo was familiar with the art of war, as long as it was written in the book, Zhao Kuo knew everything, knew everything.
But in the end, he was taken down by Bai Qi, who was also familiar with the art of war.
The biggest difference between the two of them is that Zhao Kuo takes everything recorded in the art of war as the supreme command principle.
Bai Qi is different, everything is based on the actual situation as the basis for arranging troops and making strategic decisions.
In the Battle of Changping, Bai Qi buried 400,000 Zhao troops alive in the First World War, and his reputation was far and wide, but Zhao Kuo became a stepping stone for others.
Zhu Yuanzhang is working movable type, in fact, the note written by Xiaobao to Zhu Yuanzhang does not mean that the grain and grass transported by Huangjue Temple have arrived, but provides Zhu Yuanzhang with a piece of information.
That is, there is a batch of military rations in the Yuan Court that will pass through the vicinity of Zhu Yuanzhang in the next few days, and the amount of this batch of military rations is very large.
Of course, the people of the Yuan court were also very smart, that is, they did not transport grain in the name of transporting military rations, but in the name of temple caravanserais, in the name of transporting silk.
Of course, such news was found out by the monks arranged by Koharu, the actual leader of the Huangjue Temple branch.
Let's put it this way, these monks of the Huangjue Temple branch have spread all over the temples in the world.
In this way, once there are these temples, if there is any trouble, the news will reach Koharu's ears through this powerful intelligence network of the Huangjue Temple branch.
Then Koharu will decide how to deal with the news and how to make the next move.
Of course, Koharu's news is limited to the news of the temple.
There is also the monk caravan arranged by Xiao Chun'er Sometimes, they can also inquire about some news, so Xiao Chun's ears and eyes are quite sensitive.
Originally, if Zhu Yuanzhang had contacted Xiaochun and other intelligence officers at any time, he would have known a lot of news.
But Zhu Yuanzhang did not initiate such a contact in order to be cautious.
After all, it is better to be careful about everything, if there is such an unexpected situation, it will be very unfavorable for Zhu Yuanzhang.
After all, this period is still a very critical period for Zhu Yuanzhang.
Although he is now considered to have developed independently on his own, the fate between him and Guo Zixing and Guo Dashuai has not been broken.
Because they will get along for a while in the future.
Therefore, in order to ensure that he can be invincible in the process of changing this matter, Zhu Yuanzhang did not do that, and he didn't want others to catch the handle.
After all, if something like this is done by Zhu Yuanzhang himself, then these connections are his own wealth.
But if this kind of thing is known to Guo Tianxu and them, then these things are a kind of evidence of Zhu Yuanzhang's collusion with outsiders.
After all, you are a rebel army, right, you have to fight those Tartars in the Yuan Court, not to collude with the forces of the monastery to seek personal interests for yourself.
So no matter what point you say, Zhu Yuanzhang is unreasonable, after all, you really can't say anything about this matter, right?
You have dealings with this kind of power in the monastery, what do you say, you are at a loss for words!
This time, after Xiao Chun'er got the news, she quickly let people inform Xiaobao.
After all, the amount of this batch of military rations is huge, and if he arranged the transportation of military rations, the speed of transportation would not be so fast.
Although he also knew that Zhu Yuanzhang was also in need of a lot of food now, he was still powerless for the time being.
After all, the situation is different now, now is the time of great chaos in the world, food is now a scarce substance, if you transport it in large quantities, it goes without saying, it will definitely attract people's attention.
Sometimes they use the banner of the monastery, and the situation will be a little better, but at this time, if some troops are hungry, they will not be able to rob the temple or where you are!
Zhu Yuanzhang turned out that the batch of food they used was prepared by the Huangjue Temple branch before.
That is to say, it was prepared before the chaos in the world, and this is a hidden method.
Of course, it turned out that the preparation of the Huangjue Temple branch was not for military rations, but for the development of the Huangjue Temple branch.
After Xiaochun received Zhu Yuanzhang's summons, he then organized the transportation of grain.
However, because in such a short period of time, if such a large amount of grain is transported to the branch of Huangjue Temple near Zhu Yuanzhang, it must be a lot of momentum, someone must know, and this time cannot be guaranteed.
When Koharu was in a hurry, he suddenly received such information.
Because this batch of grain transported by the Yuan court is really a lot, enough for Zhu Yuanzhang's army of 30,000 people to eat for a year, how much grain can you see?
To be honest, they did a very strict job of secrecy.
However, because of the branch of Huangjue Temple, they can be said to be pervasive, and they overheard the news.
So Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the army to pull out at this time, he didn't want to go south to Chuzhou, but to rob this batch of grain first, and then go to Chuzhou!
For such a thing, Zhu Yuanzhang is particularly excited.
After all, for anyone, they like to rob other people's things, and this is to rob the things of the Yuan Court.
Then Zhu Yuanzhang is even more willing to do such a thing, after all, in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, he hates Yuan Tartar the most, and he hates the root of his teeth!
Another is that Zhu Yuanzhang robbed this batch of grain, so the Yuan court had a lot less strength to deal with their rebels.
Therefore, no matter how you think about this matter, it is something that Zhu Yuanzhang and them must do.
But this time Zhu Yuanzhang wants to do some disguise, how to say it?
Of course, he will disguise himself as a rebel, although he is also a rebel, but he can't play the banner of Guo Zixing and Guo Dashuai, let alone the banner of Zhu Yuanzhang.
He wants to play the banner of Liu Futong, why did he do it?
Because Liu Futong is the most powerful rebel army in the world, if he fights like this, then for the Yuan court, they also feel that this matter is understandable.
After all, only Liu Futong could have such courage and strength to rob so much military rations from the Yuan Court!
There is also Zhu Yuanzhang who feels that Yuan Ting really hates Liu Futong to the core, and it is not bad for this thing!!
And Zhu Yuanzhang thinks that if he does this, maybe it will be a good thing for Liu Futong, how to say it?
It is possible that the Yuan court will send some troops to Zhu Yuanzhang's area.
